A/N: You're all wondering when I'm going to update this. And I have two words I would like to say... I'm sorry. I've been busy with my personal life and I was writing another story that force me to write everything all at once. Don't worry, all stories aren't discontinued, I just don't have plans for some future chapters. I may have some plans, but I was worried that everyone won't like it and just ignored.
I've heard that Ash won't be in the anime anytime soon, but that doesn't mean Ash's Journey in this story also ends here. His journey is still continue and walk on some path that are similar to the original. Hope everyone will continue reading my stories, thank you.
Kanto, Route 14
08.37 AM
After Ash gets his fifth Gym Badge, our friends take a break by having lunch, "Man, this is good!"
"Pika!/Evui!" Three of them eat their food faster than everyone else.
Misty sweat drops, "Well, those three like the food."
"Yeah, it's a good idea to take a break since Team Rocket's unexpected entrance." Ash nodded, agreeing with Brock.
"I wonder who sent them?"
"Me too."
Unknown to them, Trio of Team Rocket is watching them, "A contract that Team Rocket Grunts failed to complete."
"Yeah, those guys don't stand a chance against the twerps and the Gym Leader's daughter." James nodded.
"Well, you know what to do, you two?"
Meowth smiled, "Catching Pikachu, again?"
"Of course. Now, let's wait for a chance for this."
"Yeah!"
Kanto, Route 14
08.41 AM
After taking a break, they quickly head to the road, "So, is there any town nearby, Brock?"
He looked at the map, "Well, we will be arriving at Flores Town."
"Flores Town?" Ash asked. "It's a town full of Flowers from not only outside of the town. But other regions." Misty smiled at hearing flowers, "There are also many Bug-Types that lived there."
Misty quickly changed her mind about her opinion, "U-Um-m, can we sk-skip that t-town?"
"Come on, Misty. It will be fun."
Misty shook her head, "NO! I HATE BUGS!" Eevee and Togepi are confused about what is happening in Misty's mind. While Ash, Pikachu, and Brock sweatdrops by Misty's fear of bugs.
Kanto, Flores Town
08.46 AM
They arrived at the town and saw many flowers in the center, "All right, I changed my mind. I love this place."
Ash facepalmed, "Now? Seriously?"
They saw a little girl wearing a straw hat giving purple flowers, "Want some flowers?" Ash smiled.
"Yeah. Thank you." She smiled and gave them to Ash.
She quickly heads back to look at the flowers, "That was a nice gift."
"Yeah, I'm sure dad would have loved this."
Misty and Brock were confused, "You're dad?"
Ash just realized he'd said, "I-I should give this to my mom at the Pokémon Center. Be right back."
He quickly takes off to the Pokémon Center with Pikachu and Eevee, "What's going on with him?" Misty asked.
"I had no clue."
"Should we follow him?"
"Yeah." They quickly try to catch up with Ash.
Flores Town, Pokémon Center
08.48 AM
Misty and Brock arrived at the Pokémon Center, "I wonder where Ash is?"
"How about we split up?" Misty nodded, and they went in their direction.
Brock went into the waiting room looking for Ash and bumped into someone, "I-I'm sorry."
"It's okay. You didn't mean-" He saw he bumped into a girl holding a Fox Pokémon.
Meanwhile, Misty was in the calling room, hoping Ash was there. 'Ash, what happened to you?' "Toge!" She saw Togepi pointing to Ash.
Ash is having a conversation with Delia, "So, mom, did you get the flowers I sent to you?"
Misty and Togepi overhear the conversation, "Yeah, I got them. I'm sure your father would have loved it." Ash smiled, "Right, Prof. Oak wanted to talk with you about something."
"All right, I'll-"
"Hold on, young man. We need to talk."
Ash sighed, "Mom, it's about dad, is it?" She nodded.
"You know, you have to visit him." Pikachu and Eevee looked at Ash and saw he looked down,
"Mom."
"I'm sure he wants to see your face after five years."
Ash begins tearing up, "I-I can't do this. It's my fault that dad-"
"Ash, it wasn't your fault. It was an-"
"YES, IT IS!" Ash realized he shouted at Delia, "Sorry, I don't know what came over me."
"It's all right. I'm sure he doesn't want us to argue."
He nodded, "I better talk with Prof. Oak. I think he's already waiting for me."
Delia smiled, "Right, have fun." Ash smiled loosely and changed the call to Prof. Oak.
They move away and think about what they listen to, "Ash's dad. What happened to him?" Togepi tries to comfort Misty, and she smiles for his comfort. "Thanks, Togepi." Togepi nodded.
With Ash, he was now talking to Prof. Oak. "So, my Pokémon had been training themselves?"
"Yeah, the Pokémon you had caught before have trained the new ones and themselves." Pikachu is glad to hear it.
"Professor, can I switch my Pokémon?"
"Of course, which one?" Ash thinks.
"Pinsir with Grimer, and Scyther with Bulbasaur."
He nodded, "All right, You'll just send those Pokéballs here, and I'll switch it."
"Thanks, Prof. Oak."
He told them that Scyther and Pinsir that they are going to switch. They nodded, and he sent them to the lab with two selected Pokémon coming to him.
Ash grabbed the two Pokéballs that had arrived, "It's good to see you again, Bulbasaur." Bulbasaur's Pokéball shook up and down, "And it's nice to meet you, Grimer." His Pokéball also shook up and down.
He gets off the chair and sees Misty there, "Misty, how long have you been there?"
"I just got here." She lied. Knowing the conversation between Ash and Delia, "By the way. Where's Brock?"
She looked around, "I'm not entirely sure."
"Maybe he's by the Waiting Room?"
"Probably." They quickly headed to the Waiting Room, hoping Brock was there.
They arrived at the waiting room and saw Brock talking to a girl, "Oh, no."
"What are they talking about?"
Brock checks on the Pokémon, "Don't worry, it looks like Vulpix is in good condition." She sighs as a relief.
"Good, I thought something happened to him."
"Brock, can you explain to us?" They turned and saw Ash and Misty there.
"O-Oh, how long have you guys been there?" Brock was nervous since Misty there.
"We just got here." Misty told him.
"Right, this is Suzie. And Suzie, these are my friends Ash and Misty."
She smiled, "It's nice to meet you both." They smiled at the introduction.
"Thanks. So, what are you guys doing?"
"You see, my Vulpix acted strangely after touching a flower."
"Turns out he's just felt a sneeze after being hit by one of the pollens," Brock said.
"I see." They sigh, relief that Brock didn't propose to her.
"But seeing Brock checking on Vulpix. You're also a Pokémon Breeder, right?"
"Yeah, I plan to become a breeder." Suzie said.
She smiled, "Brock, can you take care of Vulpix for me?" They were surprised to hear it.
"Why do you want me to have him?"
"Well, I want someone else to take care of Vulpix. And I think he likes you too." Vulpix snuggles Brock with his face.
"Woah." Ash pulled the Pokédex from his pocket, "Vulpix, the Fox Pokémon." Pokédex said, "Both its fur and its tails are beautiful. As it grows, the tails split and form more tails."
Brock smiled, "All right, I'll take care of him."
Suzie was happy for the answer, "Here's his Pokéball."
She gives Vulpix's Pokéball to Brock, "Thanks." He then remembered something, "By the way, Ash, where did you go after getting the flowers?"
He tries to think of a solution, "Ash, why not take a break? After the traveling, we have been."
"Mist-" She looked a Brock, signaling him to play along, "She's right, you train your Pokémons while. All of them need a break. Otherwise, you broke your Pokémon to their limit."
Ash doesn't know what is happening but accepts it anyway, "All right, we'll take a break. I'll go look around the town."
They nodded and let Ash walk out of the Pokémon Center, "Did something happen to Ash?"
Suzie asked Brock and Misty, "You're going to hear this."
They didn't like the sound of Misty's tone.
Kanto, Flores Town
09.07 AM
Ash walks around the town with Pikachu and Eevee, "I wonder what's between them? You guys think about it too, right?" Pikachu and Eevee nodded. They hear something to his right, "What's that?"
They walked to the sound and arrived at the Battlefield and saw a group of 4 Students looking at the blond girl with a straw hat and a female Pikachu, "Come on, healer. Heal your Pokémon."
She was crying to hear it, "Why do you want to do this?"
The female member smiled, "'Why?' Because you're not human. And you're a demon."
Ash saw the kid insulting her, "What's going on here?" They saw Ash there, "Ah, you see, this demon-"
Ash interrupts him, "Get out!"
Flores Town, Pokémon Center
09.13 AM
"So, that's what's going on." They heard it from Misty.
"I wonder what happened to Ash's father?"
"Well, why not give him something that he likes." They looked at Suzie, "Maybe that would cheer Ash up."
Togepi and Vulpix like the idea, "You're right, thanks, Suzie."
"Anytime." She pats Vulpix before leaving, "Oh, and Brock." He got the attention, "From this point on..." He waited to hear it, "we're rivals, okay?"
Brock was surprised to hear it. He was hoping that it was a love confession, but it wasn't. "A-All right."
She smiled, "Hope to see you again." Suzie went to the exit, leaving the Pokémon Center.
Misty giggled at Brock's reaction, "That was too good." Brock was embarrassed to hear it.
Flores Town
09.15 AM
They were confused by Ash's words, "What?"
"I said get out of here."
They smiled at each other, "Oooh, what are you going to do? Battle one of us?" One of them mocked Ash.
"Yes." She was surprised by it, "I don't know what's happening here. But, you push her to the limits. And you all crossed the line."
They laugh at Ash for his bravery, "All right then. We all are coming at you."
She picked up her Pikachu and moved to Ash, "Don't do it. Please, leave me here."
"No, they pushed you too far. I can't let them do that." She worried, but she moved to the bench to watch the battle.
"Let's go, everyone." They nodded and sent out their Pokémon.
Ash saw their Pokémon is Raticate, Sandslash, Spearow, and a bee Pokémon, "What's that Pokémon?" He scanned it with his Pokédex, "Beedrill, the Poison Bee Pokémon." Pokédex said, "It has three poisonous stingers on its forelegs and tail. They are used to jab its enemy repeatedly."
He decides on his Pokémons, "Come on out, you two." He sent out Grimer and Bulbasaur from their Pokéball, "Pikachu, Eevee, go!" They nodded and went to the battle.
Meanwhile, The Rocket Trio are watching the fight, "How dare they insult the little girl like that!"
James and Meowth nodded, "Should we interrupt their fight?" Jessie asked.
"There's no need. After all, we know who the winner is."
Meowth smiled, "I can't wait to see their spirit crush like a rock!"
Ash vs. 4 Trainers
The students laugh at Ash's team, "Ahahahaha, your team is that weak?" Bulbasaur didn't like the insult, "Well, you're toast anyway. Raticate, Crunch."
He quickly moves to attack, "Bulbasaur, Vine Whip."
He sent out his vines and smacked Raticate, "Aaaaah." Raticate crashed onto his trainer's body and fainted. They were surprised how easily Raticate fainted, "H-How did that Pokémon-?!"
Ash was happy on how powerful Bulbasaur's attack was. "You train hard, Bulbasaur." He nodded.
"We're not done yet, Peck!" "Fury Swipes." Both Sandslash and Spearow rushed and attacked them.
"Pikachu, Iron Tail. Eevee, Swift!" Both smacked them but still standing, "Beedrill, Twineedle."
Beedrill quickly moves forward, "Watch out!" They saw it and prepared for it. Only to Grimer step forward, and use his body, "Yes, it got him!"
"Bee?"
They saw Beedrill couldn't get out, "Wait, Grimer, are you still good?" Grimer looked at Ash and nodded.
"Beedrill, what are you doing?! Get out of there!" He tried to pull out but was still stuck.
"Grimer, Pound!"
He pounds Beedrill onto his head, knocking him off his body. "You're going to pay for that!"
"Eevee, Flamethrower. Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" "WHAT?!" Both of them jumped and shot their attacks.
Both attacks collide and cause an explosion that hits the opposing Pokémon, "Beedrill!/Sandslash!/Spearow!" They saw three of them had fainted by the combo attack.
Winner: Ash
They got scared by how powerful the attack was, "So, you want to keep going?" They got frightened by Ash's (not) threatening words.
"O-OK, WE'RE LEAVING! AND WE PROMISE NOT TO DO IT AGAIN!" They sent their Pokémon back to their Pokéball and ran away.
"I knew that twerp would win!"
"Yes, but we should care for ourselves." Meowth tells them.
"Right, his Pokémon seems to be getting power." James said.
"We should plan our steal carefully." James and Jessie nodded before leaving the scene.
He saw the girl there, "They won't be bothering you anymore." She nodded, "Grimer, Bulbasaur, thanks for your help." They nodded and returned to their Pokéballs.
"Right, I didn't get your name. My name's Ash. And this is Pikachu and Eevee." She looked at Ash.
"I'm Yellow, and this is ChuChu." He saw ChuChu had been healed from Yellow's hands, "Oh, no!"
"Woah, you can heal your Pokémon? That was cool."
She was surprised, "You didn't call me a demon?"
"Why would I call you that? You're a healer. Then that means you can heal Pokémon that are in trouble. There's no need to call you a demon." ChuChu looked at Yellow, "I know how hard it is to accept it. But, you've got to accept it, like me."
"How?"
He smiled and pulled out the Rainbow Wing, "A Rainbow Wing?!"
"Yeah, Ho-Oh gave it to me, choosing the role of Rainbow Hero. And I accept it."
"But, that doesn't explain."
He told Yellow about his first against Incineroar loss and how he accepted it, "You see, not everyone is perfect. And that healing powers prove that you can become a good person."
She looked at her hands, "Maybe, you're right."
"See?"
Ash saw something in the sky, "Look!" They looked into the sky and saw Ho-Oh flying by the rainbow.
Yellow awed by the sight, "That's-"
"Ho-Oh, the legendary Pokémon." She smiled at seeing it.
"Ash, are you a Pokémon Trainer or a Rainbow Hero?"
Ash scratched the back of his head, "Honestly, I don't know."
She nodded, "I see."
He looked at Yellow, "Promise me that you walk on your path. All right?"
Yellow nodded, "Yeah!" They begin having conversations on the bench and exploring the town.
Flores Town, Pokémon Center
03.04 PM
Ash heads into the Pokémon Center and sees Brock and Misty, "Oh, hey guys."
Misty sighed, "Where have you been?"
"There was a girl named Yellow that got bullied by other trainers. So, I helped her. And we have a conversation after that."
They were surprised, "What did you guys talk about?"
"Well, we talk about our dreams, the experience of Pokémon Trainer, and Pokémons." They nodded.
"Did you talk about something personal?"
"Well, only our childhood, since she's getting bullied for a while."
They sigh in relief, "Anyway, we have a gift for you." Pikachu and Eevee are surprised,
"A-A gift? Why?"
"Well, we thought you deserve it since our adventures."
He nodded, "All right, so what is it?"
Misty reveals a present to Ash and gives it to him, "Well, open it." He opens it and finds a smaller version of the jacket and hat.
"Is this for me?"
"Hehehe, silly. It's for Pikachu. That way, you won't get another Pikachu mixed up."
He smiled, "Well, Pikachu?" Pikachu nodded.
"All right, I'll put it on for you." Ash puts on the clothes to Pikachu, "W-Wait, you sporting it backward!" Misty helped out also. Brocks and Eevee smiled at this.
They have done putting it on Pikachu, and he looked at his body. "You look great, Pikachu!"
"Pika!" He likes the new clothing.
"Well, ready for the meals?"
Ash smiled, "Of course!" Ash joins in for the food along with his Pokémon.
Flores Town, Yellow's Home
03.11 PM
"I'm home!"
"Well, you arrived in time."
She saw her dad there, "Come on, dinner's ready." She took her shoes before eating dinner.
Yellow and ChuChu are eating their dinner with Yellow's mom and dad, "So, Yellow, are those bullies coming again?" She's worried for Yellow's safety.
"Yes, but someone stepped in and stopped them."
"Really, who is he?"
"He's a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town."
They nodded, "I see."
"Did you have a conversation with him?"
She chuckled, "Of course, we've become friends." They smiled at hearing it. Yellow and ChuChu finish their meal, "Thanks for the meal."
"Yellow, could you help me with the dishes?"
"Of course." She helped her mom with the dishes.
Flores Town, Yellow's Home
04.14 PM
Yellow lies down on her bed with ChuChu beside her, 'Being a Pokémon Trainer, huh?'
She looked at ChuChu and cuddled her, 'If Pokémon Trainer can reach a higher potential. Then that would be my dream!' She smiled, hoping she could travel the world soon.
Flores Town, Pokémon Center
06.01 AM
Ash is yawning after waking up from the bed, "Somebody still feeling tired." Misty said, looking at Ash.
"Come on. I wake up early. That's why I'm tired."
They were eating their breakfast in the eating room, "Looks like Pikachu loves the outfit." They saw Pikachu in front of Eevee and Togepi pretending to be Ash, "He sure took on the roll pretty fast."
"Yeah."
After eating, they pack up their things in bags and get ready to travel, "Well, time to get back on the road."
"Yeah."
"Ash!/Pika!" They turned and saw Yellow and ChuChu there.
"Yellow."
Yellow sigh as a relief.
"Made it in time."
Ash was confused by this, "Is there something you need?"
"I wanted to express my gratitude for helping me." Brock and Misty looked at each other.
"All right?"
"Here!" She gave him a crimson scarf with a design of autumn leaves.
"Oh, thanks."
She smiled as Ash put it on, "Ash, I decided that I will become a Pokémon Trainer." He nodded, "Next time we meet, let's have a match."
Ash liked the idea, "All right." Both of them fist bump for promising it in the future.
Brock and Misty smiled, "A promise that will happen, huh?"
"And he took it better than you." Misty joked about the relationship between him and Suzie, "S-Shut up!"
"What was that?" Ash and Yellow are confused by the commotion, "N-Nothing! Nothing!" Misty giggled at Brock's embarrassment.
Yellow waved her hands to them as they left the town and continued traveling the region.
